Believing God for the Miraculous

 The early church prayed not just for boldness but also for miracles. Why? Because miracles confirm God’s Word. Healings and signs helped people believe the message of Jesus. The apostles understood that miracles were not just for personal blessing—they were tools to point people to the Gospel.
 
Today, we often forget this. We may pray for healing or help, but sometimes it’s only for our own comfort. The early church prayed for miracles so that others would see the power of God and come to faith. This doesn’t mean we can manipulate God into performing signs on demand, but we can pray with expectation that He still works in miraculous ways to draw people to Himself.
 
Do you believe God can still perform miracles today? Are you willing to pray for them—not for your benefit alone, but so that people will come to know Jesus? Life-shaking prayer is faith-filled and mission-driven.
 
Scripture:
Mark 16:20 - And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.
 
Application:
Think of someone who doesn’t know Jesus. Pray for a miracle in their life—not just for their comfort, but so that they might see God’s love and power.
 
Look for opportunities to tell others how God has worked in your life.
 
Prayer:
Lord, I believe You still work miracles. Help me not to seek signs for selfish reasons, but to desire Your power to be displayed so that others will know You. Use me as part of Your plan to draw people closer to You.
